Chapter 118 - Totally precarious city. (1/2)

After I bought the bread, I left the bakery along with Sylphe who was still with me. She stood there saying nothing, just following me and watching me buy.

I thought she would ask me why the bread, but I think she already knows so she didn't want to ask. Well, I wanted her to ask because she could help me distribute the bread here.

”Can you help me with this? You can give bread to the neediest people you find.” I got 5 loaves of bread into Sylphe's hands and asked her to hand it out to people who seem most needy and hungry.

Sylphe accepted the bread and kept walking around town with me. Sometimes we would find children sitting in the streets with their clothes torn and dirty.

”Here for you.” I handed the bread to a girl who was sitting near the wall of a house. After I delivered the bread she thanked me and ran into the house, she looked pretty happy.

Your family must go through some difficulties, so she must have been happy to get food for her family like that, and I am also happy to see that reaction, that means I made a difference in a person's life.

We continued walking around town and delivered bread to people on the street.

When we realized we were already full of kids following us, they seem to be hungry so I quickly handed the rest of the bread to them. I know this won't help the city, but at least it will help some people.

”Let's go back?” I spoke to Sylphe that it was time to go back to the merchant guild door because the merchant must be almost done trading his products.

I wanted to find a way to help this city, but it looks like it won't be that easy. The culprit of everything is the mayor of the city and I have no contact with him, and I think if I try to force an entrance into the mayor's mansion I could end up being charged with committing a crime.

I may be able to help them somehow later, but that will be for the future, I have to think of a good way to help the people here. If I try to help them without resources I can make things worse.

When we arrived at the merchant guild door, Lutrus and Sheir were still there, it seems that the merchant has not left the guild yet.

Lutrus said some men have already come and taken the merchant's products into the guild, so the sale and negotiation should be over and soon the merchant will be leaving the guild.
